Hi EveryoneMy sister is coming in to town to have lunch with me on Wednesday. Is there anywhere that any can think of to grab a salad? I know there's the Fast Fresh on Yonge between King and Adelaide however you can almost never get a seat in there. Any suggestions are welcome.\Thank you

This just made my day! I have friends in Boston who have told me on occasion about some food fests that come to town and a couple of good bbq joints in and around Boston. I have yet to find a place like that here and am beyond happy that Buster will hopefully come to Toronto! Like you num nums I am car-less so if this becomes a reality I'm sure a lot of us will be VERY happy!

BTW I forgot to mention that I don't like sweets from chain coffee shops because they all taste chemically or as if they have too much vanilla in them. Prairie Girl is the total opposite! The cupcakes have substance to them but they aren't oily and are still fluffy. I can't sing their praises enough!

I second the vote on Prairie Girl. It's right around the corner from my office so a few days after it opened up I went over with a co-worker. It could be considered pricey but for the product we both agreed it was definitely worth it. Toronto Life (could've been Toronto.com) did a piece on the owner and how Prairie Girl Bakery came to life. It's worth a read I definitely recommend them though!

So sorry I haven't logged on here in about two weeks but I tried your recipe out first natewrites and it was fantastic! I've made it several times since then for game night and it always went over well.

The recipe suggestion by jungman turned out just as well. Such easy recipes and both are really good!

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good place to get Maine shrimp. A friend of mine in Boston told me that Maine shrimp is in season and it only lasts for about six weeks I believe, which means the season here would be much shorter since we aren't in the coast region. If anyone knows of a market or restaurant to get some at please let me know!

Hey y'all!I was wondering if anyone had ideas on a nacho recipe (apart from throwing some shredded cheese on) for the hockey game tonight. HINT: I like spicy so if you guys have any suggestions I'd appreciate hearing themThanks!

Interesting bytepusher! The recipe does indeed call for grits (I don't recall any mention of hominy grits). I haven't been brave enough to try the recipe yet as a lot of David Chang's stuff is very involved and I'm nowhere near up to par with his level of experience and expertise.

I'm with Matt H and Splendid Wine Snob on this one. It's a shame that the project didn't take off because of greed and red tape. It's actually embarassing that things were so mishandled. I understand the government wants a handle on everything but if they want to run a project successfully they need to rely on experts and call in people who know a thing or two about the food cart industry. Or since that would cost more money (less in their pockets) observe how another city runs it. Don't go into something you know nothing about blindly.

I purchased David Chang's new cookbook yesterday entitled Momofuku. One of the recipes I am anxious to try first calls for grits. I know they are hard to come by in Canada if you can get them at all but would anyone happen to know of a spot in Toronto I could get them at? Preferrably somewhere accesible by transit as I live downtown and don't have a car.

@Strongbad789: I'm guessing that you had the correct address of 270 Adelaide?

I'm rather sad this place has closed down. There's already enough condos along the waterfront! At least they will still be around (just at another location). I hope the quality isn't affected by the move!

My parents will be visiting me on the weekend and we are going for lunch on Sunday. We are looking for a nice place somewhere along St Clair Ave West (preferrably between Bathurst and Oakwood but not limited to) where we can sit and chat while enjoying a nice meal. Also, any suggestions toward the east (heading towards Yonge St) are welcome as well.

Can anyone suggest something? Prefferably a place that isn't loud and is also reasonbly priced. My parents aren't picky eaters so any type of cuisine is on the table.

I live in an apartment with no access to a bbq and was wondering if anyone had recipe ideas on how to cook short ribs via stove top or oven. I also have a crock pot (slow cooker) as well. I'm more familiar with doing these bad boys on the bbq after marinating them and rubbing them with some garlic perhaps. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome!

I have had a breakfast sandwich from them several times while staying out at my parents place in Brooklin. There is one not far from their home and I actually enjoyed each time. Plus the coffee is decent too. I haven't actually had any lunch-type sandwiches there though however I am willing to try them.
